4566 Concealed Carry Questions

[Zebulon]

What do you guys carry these in? I have a pair of squared trigger guard pistols....What can I use to conceal these? I doubt there are many holsters made for these early guns. Thanks.....Zebulon

Kramer has three versions of your pistol in their list of guns they make holsters for.

I've been using horse hide Kramers for 15 years or so, without any problems. Much better made than many other brands and worth the money to me.

Here is a cousin to your 4566, a 4" 5906. I bought and have been using this Kramer IWB #2 since I bought this pistol in 1998. I eventually did need to refinish the holster a few years ago, but it is still strong and working very well for me.

I second the Kramer recommendation. I have had nothing but good experiences with his holsters.

Poohgyrr,

Did you do the refinish yourself?

How does that work?

I use a Kramer, a Milt Sparks Summer Special and a Garrity Stead Fast (OWB. For a heavy gun they all make it's carrying a pleasure but if I had to pick one I'd go with the Sparks.

I ended up using black leather dye from Walgreens, and then black shoe polish. There are other dyes you can buy from shoe repair shops, but it worked for me...

PS: Kramer's had a refinish service available when I did mine, but I didn't want to be without the holster so I just re-dyed and then polished it. For your information also, Kramers told me if they did it, it would be better than new when I got it back. That was hard to pass up, but this was my daily carry and this is the only holster I like for it.

Another for Kramer. I use a horsehide Belt Scabbard for my 1006 when I carry it.

Most of my holsters are now Kramers...What a great holster. Another vote for Kramers!

I found this Don Hume, Model H721, No 49,4 1/2" for my 4566. Works nice with the correct belt.
